April Fools!!!! LOL

The folks at FamilyFun.com compiled some of the most hilarious pranks around. Too bad I didn't see this earlier, because I would've done all of them to everybody:

Call from the Principal (Not!). My kids behave pretty well at school so they were very shocked when I told them the principal had called about some rude behavior on the playground. Of course they denied it and rightly so since I'd just made it up. I told them no T.V. for a week and boy did they howl about that! Luckily they weren't mad at me when I finally said,"APRIL FOOLS!"

Buggy Toothpaste. My husband placed a raisin in the end of the toothpaste tube. When I squeezed out the paste, I got what I thought was a bug along with my minty tarter control glob.

Cowboys and Indians. I live in Cowboy country and am a huge Dallas fan. One Sunday while I was watching Dallas play our rival Washington, my kids made two big signs saying "A Redskin fan lives here" and "I love the Redskins" and placed them on our front lawn. It wasn't until later that afternoon as we backing out of the driveway to go out that I saw the signs and almost passed out!

Ran out of Gas! The set-up is simple. We took our kids out to dinner to "celebrate" April Fool's Day. A few blocks from home, my husband made the car lurch a little and announced that we were out of gas. The children moaned and groaned a little and then got out to walk home with Dad while I stayed behind with the baby and to watch the car. I watched them for about a block, started the car and drove by yelling "April Fool's!" The kids loved it and it was a great way for them to work off more energy before bed!

Finger Lickin' Good. Finishing our take-out fried chicken dinner one night, I complained I was still sooo hungry and wished there were more chicken. I drank some water, secretly sucking a half-melted ice cube into my mouth and moving it between my molars. Then, licking my finger & smiling, I stuck my finger into my mouth (between my cheek & molars where I held the ice). I bit down on my "finger," the ice cracked & crunched horribly, then I pretended to really enjoy crunching down on that chicken-lickin' finger! The looks on my kids' faces were priceless!
